Its very hard to tell what really hits the 3 Red Rings Of Death.

For Put it simple. = Cheap Manufacturing Product.

For Detail = (it could be one of them But I can't confirm any how )

The Processor of the GPU and CPU has started to "Lift" up. (Due to On/Off Playing)

"Lift" means the CPU And GPU starting to separated from the motherboard (slighty, you can't really see unless you got an X-Ray Mobo Scanner [is that what they call ? ] )

This Happens when everytime we turn on our xbox 360. The CPU/GPU Gets Very Hot (enough to cook an egg if you didn't attach the fan laugh.gif )

After a long period time of Turning it On/Off (Hence Hot Cold affects)

The motherboard start to Flex Hence the "separation" of the CPU/GPU from the motherboard.

Which Cost the Effect of Three Red Rings Of Death.

Do note : this is one of the symptoms of a easier explanation I could be wrong. smile.gif

to avoid this problem 3rod... when after u turn off ur 360 make sure u wait 5-10sec before switch off the powersupply cause the fan still spining and try suck some hot air out in 5-10sec. after that u can turn off ur powersupply. (am i right?)

but i end up getting E74 doh.gif

but somehow taking too much care doesn't help to prevent the 3 Red Rings Of Death. As you can see.. (including you) we all tried to take as good or should I say as best as possible.

But it ends up dead right in front of us.

so I said play everyday laugh.gif

if a 360 got 3rod before and get fixed,so if in the future we got 3rod again,can it be fix anymore?

let say you had done x clamp method, then the heat gun method, then the 12v fan method. if happens again. you can really use it as a door stopper or paper weight.

oh my...
now, seriously, is it worth getting x box now then?
I initially wanted to get Wii, instead of X box...
then my friend who had both, brought both Wii and X box for me to test...
Wii was alright for first 1 hour... then my arms began to ache...not to mention the games were just party games...
Tried the Xbox then - GOW...
And i just got hooked straight into it...the control feels soooo easy to me (got PS2 already ;P) and graphics were way better...
So started to wan an X box...especially with all the good action games..
But then this 3rod problem started surfacing, and the more i read about it, the more apprehensive i became, as nearly everyone seem to experience it, especially in the US...even here.
Thing is, does the guarantee/warranty cover Malaysia too, especially for 3rod?
otherwise, it's kinda lame to spend RM1700 on a machine just to see it kaput within a year...This is especially hard for me, as my income is low, and hard to get by te chance of getting one...
*
that depends on where you get from. But for malaysia for the xbox 360 warranty are just only for a year.. unless you bring your own to singapore to verify the problem (seems now are 3 years warranty).

DjINn, Any safety measures man? I've got 3rod-ed before and fixed it with x-clamp method.

Now, do i really need an external fan etc or something ?
*
no safety measure at all, You can put those vertical fan.. but still hard to say does it helps a lot ... or less. sweat.gif

cmonlah djinn, you and i know, even if it does come this year, it will only be in the US. we have to wait for the europeans and japs before we get it.
so plus 6 months to that and we r left waiting forever.

unless of course is MS does a world wide simultaneous release!  drool.gif

that'll be a first.

laugh.gif like MS would want to do simultaneous release... Never... tongue.gif
